Teres Turntable/Soundsmith Strain Gauge System
Where's the eye candy?!?!?!? ;-) 
Anyone modify the K&K phono stage?
Pedrillo,K&K have a forum at Audio Asylum. I'll bet you find someone there who has played with different mods. 
Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables...
Tiger, the Clear Day will smooth out nicely after a 100 hrs or so. Paul has done his homework. His choice of wire and dielectric make this cable sound exceptional to me. It has very good bass control and a nice midrange. It doesn't quite have the ... 
Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Doug, do you mean a Galibier-like pulley? ;-) Socoaste, the wood pulley does sound like a cool idea and that's a great wood to machine. A good lathe is one tool I still don't have. 
Tube amps that kick ass?
I'm not your "pal", "buddy", "son", etc. have a nice life. 
Tube amps that kick ass?
I'm not arguing anything, just making a suggestion. Might I make another? "In my system the VTLs sounded rolled from the top." FWIW. :-) 
Tube amps that kick ass?
Gallant_diva,If they work for some and sound rolled off to you, would you not suspect a mismatch somewhere? 
Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program?
I had a long and pleasant conversation last night with an owner of this software who really understands not only how to use it, but also what and how it is doing it. Real engineering, geeky-type talk in some places. :-) I have to say that the feat... 
Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Socoaste,I have an extra roll that I've used for a splice or two. The only slight downside, to me anyway, is that it is white. Your desire to conserve is appreciated, but I can't imagine anyone using this etched mylar belt that won't need to make ... 
"Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality?
Ah, ok. I see what you were up to and why you couldn't just come out and explain it. That would have tainted your experiment.Hi IQ or not, the guy sounds like a total whack job. ;-) 
"Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality?
You put it right there: IF! --- they are indeed in the recording.I concede they ARE NOT, and are made-up by an amplitude response issue. Now I do not understand you either. Do you mean that the details you heard on these unnamed speakers weren't r... 
Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program?
Yes, Brian, I understand the "dealer" part. I suspect that also had a significant impact on the home addition pricing as well as I think that is about what Wally charged for his az wonder tool. I'd try it. Why not? Well, $540. I'm even more confus... 
Tube amps that kick ass?
Keith, why all the concern about high power with the 5A's? Ok, there are some demands down around 100Hz but most of the heavy lifting is being done by the sub's plate amp, which I hope is also rolling off the woofer just about that 100Hz. Anyway, ... 
"Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality?
I was going to post some thoughts but Atmosphere beat me to the point I was going to try to make. If I understand the theme of this topic this is something that I refer to as the "startle factor". To me this doesn't just refer to amplitude peaks b... 
Anybody have the Feickert Adjust + program?
Ok, I see some bells and whistles targeting some specific tasks associated with tonearm/cart setup. But, really, can't I do most of the important stuff with any decent RTA software? How do I justify $500 usd plus another $40 usd in shipping? I alr...
